    Default #1 pickup lines for dances

    okay, i am new to this site and dancing. Basically, i am wondering, what is a good pickup line to ask guys if they want a dance? i know i could make more if i just knew what to say. Also, where I work it is customary to ask for tips before you give a dance. What is the best, sexiest, way to do this without sounding demanding or ruining the mood?

    I wish it were that easy for me. Usually I talk to them for a minute and work my way into asking if he'd like a dance the next song. I wait for an opening, and I'll ask if he's ever been into our VIP room, (if there is one), then I'll ask him if he'd like to join me for some fun.

    I never ask for money upfront, but if that's what you do in your club, then I would probably ask the girls there. I wouldn't know what to do either. lol I never heard of that before. What state are you in?

    Mariah:

    Most guys who go to strip clubs to get lapdances from dancers (as opposed to gawking at those of us who do), don't require a "pick-up line." If you are my body type, I don't care if you use American Sign Language on me, we are going to the back for some laps. OTOH, if you aren't, you could be a cross between Erma Bombeck and Laura Kightlinger and I won't buy one from you.

    As for the "customary to ask for tips before a lap" statement, well, I've been clubbing for 25 years and been to hundreds of clubs. That is not a customary practice among any group of dancers except for ROBs, and is a real buzz kill to those of us lap buyers looking for a pleasant time. I would strongly recommend you to not try this, as it will lead to fewer laps and, more importantly, fewer multiple lap purchases. Just a thought to consider.

    Regardless, good luck with your choices.

    Personally, I don't advise ever asking for tips. It's tacky no matter which way you say it and regardless if other dancers are doing it in your club, it doesn't make it sound any better. Your better strategy is just get better at selling more dances and you'll make more money than you would have for a tip anyway. I'm really getting frustrated by how tip-demanding our society is becomming lately. Two places in particular really got me mad about this lately.

    The first was this great Mexican take-out restaraunt I used to go to all the time who had absolutely awesome food. A few weeks ago, I went through their drive through and there was a bucket hanging out of the window on a string with "TIPS" written on it. IN A DRIVE THROUGH! I complained to the manager about it and he told me it was his idea. I suggested he remove it or he'll probably lose customers and he didn't care. Well, he lost this customer over it.

    The second place was, get this, a SHOE STORE that had a tip jar by the register. I couldn't believe it! I bitched about that one too and the Manager took it away and yelled at the employees over it. Evidendtly he wasn't aware of it.

    I'm saying all this not because I'm cheap. In fact those that know me will tell you I tip VERY well. I will say thought that I tip when it's appropriate. Not when I'm buying shoes or getting an enchilada platter in the drive thru. My thought is, that if guys want to tip you, they will. Putting preasure on them to do it, even slightly, can start hurting your sales badly. Sure you may have gotten a $10 or $20 tip from some guy, but that may have cost you $100 in dances he would have bought if he wasn't upset that he was asked for a tip.

    Tipping is appropriate when someone goes out of their way (and job discription) to service you or their wage (or lack thereof) implies that each service will have a tip attached to it. Asking for tips is never appropriate.

    If I was planning on tipping and then asked for a tip I would give them half or none of what I intended to. I certainly would never go back to them again, even if it was done in a pleasant manner. If a guy *really* doesn't feel like a tipper then do less work for him with as much eye contact and smiles as possible (which are free!). If he doesn't tip, he doesn't tip, but he still probably liked you better than all those bitches that were asking him for tips.

    Tips is a tricky thing. You have to feel it out. Guys from certain areas are accustomed to tipping dancers, like guys from Boston and Arizona. Also, if the guy has a strange request or makes a mess of himself.

    Also, if I have spent a long time talking with the guy before or after laps. If I feel even a little bit that he will be offended, I do not ask. You just have to feel it out and NEVER EVER EVER ask for it until after the dance.............

    I think you should have lots of dance experience before you require tips so you can feel it out and not lose business over it........

    Very very rarely do I ask. If I totally think such or so guy SHOULD be paying extra, because I don't automatically get extra for putting up with them.

    Now, my club's rules are no touching boobies or crotch. One night I was wearing a black thong, so I told guys who asked "No touching breasts, and stay out of the black." One drunken guy totally couldn't get this, so after the dance, as I could tell he was about to walk away, I said something like "oh, most of the gentlemen tip here" or something like that. Gives me $2 saying "that's all I got" after he had at least 160, mostly in 20s, in his wallet. But, oh well, was $2 more than I was going to get.

    Girls at my club pull the asking for tips upfront thing too, here is what they say:
    "have you ever had a dance before?"
    [most guys]: "nope."
    dancer: "Okay, well, the way it works is the better the tip, the better the dance. Sounds fair to you, right? Most guys here tip $10-20."

    Another way is to just work it into the price of the dance - "dances here are $20 plus a tip."

    I still have my face
    I have not run away from home

    Now i understand this post regarding tips for lapdances. I do not ask for tips with dances, and sometimes have been given tips afterwards. I usually take this as a sign of appreciation, even if its not that much money. Anyway, my question is regarding the rounds we do at our clubs. After our sets, we go up and ask the guy if they would like to tip for our stage show. Usually the guy does not mind giving a dollar or two. If the guy gives me a dolalr and then says thank you, i take that as a sign to move on. Other times im confused on whether or not i should make my round for a stage tip and then leave. Or talk a little and see if they would care for a dance.Should i wait and ask for a stage tip after they decline my dance offer, make my rounds and lap dance runs separate?? i usually mix these methods up since i am still warming up to the customers and their feedback in general(im still new)

    One way to imply to a customer that a tip on top of the base price would be appreciated without sounding greedy, is to say it sort of like this:

    Customer: How much are the dances?

    Dancer: They're a $20 minimum per song.

    If he inquires what you mean by minimum, just tell the truth. If he thinks you did an exceptional job, he is more than entitled, but in no way obliged to tack on a little extra, much as he would tip any service worker. And yes, some guys will go for it.

    If they do tip, be sure you show a little extra appreciation. Something as small as that thank you gesture is what ensures a return visit.

    Mind you the gal who first used that line on me was dancing for a paltry $5/song so she was more than justified to bring it up. The cheaper your dances are, the more success you'll have.

    Regarding pickup lines (which sounds incredibly counterintuitive--it's a friggin' strip club, folks ), I'll quote Bridgette here since I think she knows the game better than most and more importantly, can quantify it succinctly:

    In conversation, use loaded questions/comments, or just outright ask. Most guys don't need alot of coaxing, they're either interested in you or not, and just asking them will usually get the appropriate answer. I find using lines like "can we go in the back and play", or "how about we go have a little one-on-one time/fun" work well, instead of just "wannadance", "are you ready for a dance", etc.

    As for picking winners, learn to watch their faces as you walk by or approach. If they stare you down, they're interested. If they practically give themselves whiplash to check you out as you walk by, they're interested. Same as in a regular bar situation. If they turn away as you're walking by/toward them or look at them, they're either not interested or don't have any money. Also pay attention to the ones who get up out of their seats to tip you on stage, especially if they tip more than normal. Go around and thank your biggest tippers or anyone who went out of his way to get up and tip you, then use the time to introduce yourself, ask how they're doing/if they're having fun, see if you can get a dance. These are the easiest ways to pick targets. With practice you'll get better and learn more techniques and signals.
    Regarding tips, I will echo everything DW said, and then some.

    If you ask me for a tip, not only will you not get one, but you'll not get a dance from me again. My tipping philosophy is some obscure formulaic amalgamation of how many dances I bought, the cost of dances, if I know the club's cut (hate that shit ), how much I have left in my pocket, and, most importantly, given my MO for dancers (usually just one per evening, the whole evening), how much of my money you take from me over the course of the evening.
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    I don't ask for tips either. In champagne rooms, the champagne host will prompt the tip at the end of the room... "times about up guys, would you like to stay a little longer? okay, I'll hafta get you out of here then. If you'd like to tip the lady I'd appreciate it."

    I've done rooms with a girl who asks for the tip up front. She'll say, "would you like to tip us now so we know what to expect?"

    I have thought about charging more as a flat fee in some clubs. As in, "the champagne room is $$$, and theres a $$$ fee for my participation" or something like that. Just because I think what I offer is awesome and I think people would pay it. But I never do it...

    I have only asked for a tip once ever and it was for a special situation where I was giving an innocent laap dance to a guy when he pushed me off him and came in his pants..I was totally disgusted and offended and so I said that service deserved a tip and I didn't care if he came back to me or not....other than that I think it is totally tacky and in very poor taste to ask for tips for all the same reasons everyone else said.

    Example: It is customary to tip the DJ when he he lets you skip a set to do a champagne room at our club, so I am always appreciative and would always tip him. One DJ in particular though told me not to forget to tip him after my champagne room, I was offended that he thought he had to ask and so I gave him less than I normally would have given him. So just think about how you would feel if the tables were turned.

    I never ask for tips with lap dances....UNLESS a situation occurs as aprirlhottie had said. If a men chooses to "release" him self during a dance ....especially with no warning...instead of being infuriated I simply ask him for a tip.
    Usually...feeling embarressed or guilty...they will tip in a situation like that.
    Otherwise, I never ask for tips, ususally most guys will throw in a couple extra bucks anyhow along with however much the dance cost.
    When in comes to VIPs ...the only time I mention tips is if I notice the customer I am with didnt take care of the waitress or champagne host. Then I will sweetly say something about it.
    When in comes to getting dances..there are no real good "one liners" I dont believe. I think each customer is different and I feel out each situation differently then the last. Usually a few introduction lines...and work my way to a dance.
    Good luck!

    Ah, to clarify my earlier post, I never ask for tips, but in AZ, any money we make is considered a "tip". If someone asks me how much dances are, I say it's a 10/20(vip) dollar minimum. If I really feel like I deserve a tip and if the guy was an asshole, I'll say 10/20 minimum plus tips. But I meant to say in my earlier post that I don't ask them to pay me upfront for the dance. The only time I mention actual tips before a dance, is if he asks if it's going to be any good. Then I ask him if he's going to tip me well. I hate when they ask me that, BTW.

    I don't ask for tips unless...you want something weird! A guy begged to lick my foot and dammit I think I deserved an extra $20 gratuity. I don't think that's too demanding.

    No line required if I think you're hot and will give me an equally hot dance. Although there are more creative ways to get my attention than "Wanna dance?" or "Come play with me."

    I second, third, fourth--whatever--the notion of not asking for tips. In one club I worked, some pathetic DJ had made a big plastic jug up with a "TIPS" label, which he prominently displayed on the shelf where customers and dancers came up to talk to the DJs.

    My first action on taking over for the night was to put this away, out of sight completely.

    One of my favorite pick up lines that I use only when it is busy is to go up to guy and whisper in his ear "I heard there's a party in yopur pants and I'm invited". That usually gets their attention

    I hate the tip jar at Starbucks and Subway. Those people are getting a decent wage and are not bringing my food to the table or refilling my drinks. That the damn jar is requesting a tip BEFORE I have tried the product pisses me off.

    One of the funnier pick-up lines: "Would you like to read the braille on my nipples?" It was suggested I use that. As hilarious as I found it, it's doesn't fit with my personality.

    Lightbulb Re: #1 pickup lines for dances

    By going on stage I usually have an idea of who would like a private dance. If a customer comes over and tips me while on stage, I always say thank you and ask if they would like to have a little fun when i get off my set. Usually they say yes, or ask to have a drink and then have dance. If they say no, this approach saves me time of having to go around and figuring out who may or may not want a dance.

    Lizette and DW, look how much damn money we make, how can you say someone working at Starbucks or Subway makes a decent living? They don't make shit, and I think it's great that they are taking it upon themselves to try to make a little more cash. The food service industry is one of the hardest to work in, IMO, have you ever worked behind a counter before? I say give 'em a dollar, or your change, and just be happy you can afford to tip someone who doesn't make as much.
